Is 16:1 Send ye the lamb to
the ruler of the land from Sela to the wilderness, unto the mount of the
daughter of Zion.
Is 16:2 For it shall be, that, as a wandering bird cast out of the nest,
so the daughters of Moab shall be at the fords of Arnon.
Is 16:3 Take counsel, execute judgment; make thy shadow as the night in
the midst of the noonday; hide the outcasts; bewray not him that wandereth.
Is 16:4 Let mine outcasts dwell with thee, Moab; be thou a covert to them
from the face of the spoiler: for the extortioner is at an end, the
spoiler ceaseth, the oppressors are consumed out of the land.
Is 16:5 And in mercy shall the throne be established: and he shall sit
upon it in truth in the tabernacle of David, judging, and seeking
judgment, and hasting righteousness.
Is 16:6 We have heard of the pride of Moab; he is very proud: even of his
haughtiness, and his pride, and his wrath: but his lies shall not be so.
Is 16:7 Therefore shall Moab howl for Moab, every one shall howl: for the
foundations of Kirhareseth shall ye mourn; surely they are stricken.
Is 16:8 For the fields of Heshbon languish, and the vine of Sibmah: the
lords of the heathen have broken down the principal plants thereof, they
are come even unto Jazer, they wandered through the wilderness: her
branches are stretched out, they are gone over the sea.
Is 16:9 Therefore I will bewail with the weeping of Jazer the vine of
Sibmah: I will water thee with my tears, O Heshbon, and Elealeh: for the
shouting for thy summer fruits and for thy harvest is fallen.
Is 16:10 And gladness is taken away, and joy out of the plentiful field;
and in the vineyards there shall be no singing, neither shall there be
shouting: the treaders shall tread out no wine in their presses; I have
made their vintage shouting to cease.
Is 16:11 Wherefore my bowels shall sound like an harp for Moab, and mine
inward parts for Kirharesh.
Is 16:12 And it shall come to pass, when it is seen that Moab is weary on
the high place, that he shall come to his sanctuary to pray; but he shall
not prevail.
Is 16:13 This is the word that the Lord hath spoken concerning Moab since
that time.
Is 16:14 But now the Lord hath spoken, saying, Within three years, as the
years of an hireling, and the glory of Moab shall be contemned, with all
that great multitude; and the remnant shall be very small and feeble. |
